Little Zhuangtou and the Great General

031

Suddenly entering the water, Shen Miao didn't have any precautions, and immediately choked a few mouthfuls. Just as he was about to find a support point, the rope suddenly lifted up again, and one person pulled him out of the water, carried him on his shoulders, and walked away.

"Catch a big fish, let's go!" The man carrying Shen Miao said excitedly, with a particularly raspy voice, "I've been paying attention to him just now, and others just handed over the bamboo rafts. He alone, those people walked away quickly." No matter how urgent you are, don’t forget to protect him.”

Shen Miao would not do what he wanted, and started hitting with a fist, counting the vertebrae, and there were two acupoints on the vest that hurt the most.

The man looked at it and smiled: "Heh! You're quite stubborn? Tell you, I'm not afraid of you, young master. It happens that your back is sore, so just hit hard, and give me the right to beat my back."

After the man finished speaking, a group of bandits laughed along with him.

Shen Miao scolded angrily: "Don't be complacent, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you just catch someone? Is there any law?"

"Don't talk about king's law with me." The man got angry and pinched Shen Miao's thigh, "I don't believe in king's law, my lord."

Shen Miao was in pain, but she was not polite. Looking for the man's stamina, she greeted him with a knife.

"Oh, it's quite exciting. I like it!" The man laughed.

Shen Miao scolded, and couldn't help being annoyed that she hadn't practiced martial arts before, and her hands were not strong enough.

The steward is leading the villagers to a stalemate with the bandits. The bandit's weapons are not sophisticated, basically made of wood, but the villagers have more than a dozen decent knives besides the hatchet. Although the villagers are not good at using weapons, they have enough to eat and wear. Warm, full of strength, stalemate is still easy.

But after the man brought Shen Miao over, the situation changed.

Although the steward didn't say anything, his face darkened. He didn't expect the other party to be so cunning and able to bypass the stream to catch up with the fast bamboo raft.

The slightly changed expression of the manager fell into the eyes of the man, and the man became more proud, and tightened the hand that was holding Shen Miao's neck: "Hand over the food obediently, or don't blame me for being rude."

The steward didn't move when he heard the words, he knew that such things as bandits robbing food should not be easily allowed to succeed, otherwise they would come again and again, especially when holding hostages, once they found that the hostages were useful, they might not Will return again.Shen Miao is Wu Liu's favorite person, and she cannot be allowed to be used again and again.The current plan is not to pay the food, delaying time, until the reinforcements from Qigongzi's village arrive, and wipe out all the bandits.

Shen Miao also saw the manager's intentions, and she couldn't easily let the bandits grab the food, so she said, "Look, I've said it all, it's useless to catch me. It's spring plowing now, the crops have just been planted, and every household has nothing to eat of."

"Don't scare me." The man snorted, "Don't think I didn't see it, isn't it for food when the fields are repaired? Hand over the food."

"It's the grain that everyone dug out between their teeth, and it's still in foreign debt. You snatched it away, what should we do?" Shen Miao was furious.

The man smirked: "What do you do? We'll talk when we're full."

"Then you have robbed us all, we are all starving to death, what will you do next? Continue to rob? There are only a few Zhuangzi, what should we do if we are all robbed?"

"It's very simple." The man said with a smile, "After all the looting is over and the crops in the field are ripe, we will harvest and plant the land and settle down."

The thieves who followed the man hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, settle down, and you will be safe if you have a home."

Shen Miao was not angry but happy when she heard it, thinking that the bandits in An's family would know at a glance that they were not vicious ones, but those who were forced to helpless people. If they had a piece of land to settle, they would be safe and not make trouble again.

He said: "It is impossible to live in peace after robbing so many Zhuangzi. The owners of these Zhuangzi will definitely not let you go. Since you want to be safe, it is better to stop here. The owner of Zhuangzi here is opening up mountains and fields for the people. If you move inward, there are still vacant hills where you can be placed."

The thieves were taken aback when they heard it, then looked at each other, and gradually nodded their heads: "If... that's true, then... it's not bad."

"Don't listen to his nonsense." The man holding Shen Miao yelled, "Have you forgotten the brother lying in the village? Ergou is a boy in his teens. How could he be chopped up by their hatchet?" gone?"

The bandit immediately woke up when he heard this: "Yes, yes, yes, you can't trust them. They can be so cruel to a child. If you believe it, our heads will all be hanged at the entrance of the village within a few days."

As soon as Shen Miao heard it, she knew that there was a misunderstanding. The farmers in this Zhuangzi definitely did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and the possibility of accidentally injuring them was more likely, so they wanted to argue.

Unexpectedly, several people rushed out of the village and whispered in the steward's ear.

The steward's face suddenly showed joy, but the person who held Shen Miao became alert, and immediately understood that reinforcements had arrived, and immediately slammed his hands hard, scolding: "Well, you despicable person, you are talking to us on purpose to delay time. , so that we can be wiped out, right?"

Shen Miao felt the pain and blushed.

The steward immediately showed a worried expression, and the man immediately changed his strategy when he saw it: "Take this man, we will withdraw first, and we will exchange twenty shi of grain in three days. If there is no one, I will hang his head at the entrance of the village."

Shen Miao struggled as soon as she heard it, the man had experienced Shen Miao's fierceness several times, so he simply knocked him down with a knife, carried him and left.

The steward wanted to go up to snatch the person, but was afraid that the act of snatching would make the other party realize the importance of Shen Miao even more, so he had to watch Shen Miao leave.When the bandit was gone, the steward immediately ordered several people to follow quietly, making sure to find out where the bandit was hiding.

When Shen Miao woke up vaguely, she heard the voice of a middle-aged man who lacked energy but was extremely angry and sharp: "You are so stupid! Huh? This is East Zhejiang Road, do you think you are still on West Zhejiang Road? Did you dare to go down the mountain to snatch it without finding out? And hijacked someone to come up? Do you think your life is too hard? Cough cough cough..."

"Third Uncle, don't, don't get angry." The person who kidnapped Shen Miao said hurriedly, his tone was full of worry, and he justified without confidence when it was over, "That was their first move, Ergou is still lying on the bed."

"You only saw that Ergou was injured, and you didn't ask Ergou about the injury. It was obvious that Ergou and the others went to grab other people's things first, and then let Ergou get injured after they counterattacked. They justified it."

"That, that's because we were hungry. After climbing so many mountains, we ran out of dry food. What if we don't rob it? Didn't we rob it all the way? To rob Zhuangzi's master's house and distribute some to Zhuangzi's farmers. Is there nothing wrong?"

"That's different!" The middle-aged man scolded angrily, "No one is in charge of Zhexi Road now, but Zhedong Road is still managed. Especially this Zhuangzi, you have seen it these days. Farmers work together to build terraces, but Zhuangzi still manages it." Meals are given during the construction period. If this kind of thing is put in other villages, if you want to open terraces, you will only draw a piece of land, limit the time, and order it to be completed, how can you pay for it? What does this mean, do you understand?"

"Of course I know! This means that the owner of Zhuangzi is rich and powerful. He is a fat sheep and can be robbed."

"You!!" The middle-aged man was so angry that he couldn't speak, "No matter how rich and powerful the owner of Zhuangzi is, he can't change his nature. He will try his best to pick off the farmers. The owner here didn't do that, which can only explain this. People's vision is quite different from others, and this person's status in the hearts of farmers is also extraordinary. Besides, Zhedong Road is not stable now, and the manor to which they belong can still be planted by farmers, and even can open up mountains and fields, their status must be extraordinary. It is more difficult to provoke such a rich, powerful, and respected person than to provoke a bully. The bully has been a disaster for a long time. , others are angry at your actions, no matter how correct you are, others will not think you are right."

"Then what should we do? Everyone has snatched it and sent it back?"

"Hmph! Want to send it back? There is no door."

"What should I do?"

"Wait! If this person is really valuable enough, someone will come to rescue him, find out all the hidden weapons, and prepare to meet the enemy; if not, kill him on the spot and find a place to bury him. We must not let him When he goes back, he must not let the people in the village know about his death." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he coughed violently again.

When Shen Miao heard it, her heart skipped a beat, it's broken, this middle-aged man has a lot of brains, so he's not easy to deal with!
